Sorry if anyone is going for Italy but they are truly garbage and an embassasment to their country in this world cup. They play so dirty and cheap and I haven't seen a team in the World cup take more dives then these panzies.

If you want to get a laugh tune in. They are the biggest actors/bullshitters in the world cup. Guys get touch and jump in the air and flop on the ground crying and bouncing around on the ground like a seal that have just been harpooned. It's hilarious.

Tune in for a laugh!!!!!!

If I was a Italy fan ---------->

It's on at 3:00pm eastern

Francesco Totti especially

[Harrier Jet]

I have money on them winning the whole thing, they just scored!!!

Unfortunately the European game seems to have culture of diving.

USA playing well just need to defend on set pieces better, they need to realise you aint going to beat traditionally the best defenders in world football unless you can open them up and get them to attack.

As I type this USA score own goal and one of the italians gets sent off. That was disgraceful.

THAT RED CARD ON PABLO MASTROEINI WAS REDICULOUS..THESE REFS NEED TO LET THE GAME BREATHE..SO MANY DAMN FOULS!

1-1 AT HALF...USA USA USA!
GO USA! GO CLINT DEMPSEY!

[Harrier Jet]

I think it's going to end up 1-1.

With my record at predictions look for a goal fest in the 2nd half.

red card on Eddie Pope Bull SHIT! down to 9 men now..worst refs ever! they better be fired immediatly after this game!

[Merenguito]

ALOT of BS calls in this game so far.....and your right, these Italians flop more than the Pizzas they flip!

[Harrier Jet]

It's FIFA's fault. They dont want a club level back lash for all the players reporting to pre season hurt so they tell all the refs to go overboard on calls and punishments. It's meant to be a derterant but it just ends up ruining games.

Pope should still be on the field, the second foul was a yellow but his one in the first half wasnt.

[vilmatime51]

omg almost a goal! offsides! damn i went crazy i thought beaseley's goal counted..go USA! SHOWING GOOD ENERGY..

[Jetsfan115]

not to be an a$$ but who cares its soccor. its boring give me action give me some football damn it not futbol

The fucking douche bags gets carried off on a stretcher and then 30 seconds later he comes running back onto the field.

The same thing happened in their 1st game. A Guy was crying flopping on the ground then they took him off on the stretcher. The guy looked like he was pure agony then 30 seconds he comes on the field and scores a goal. What a bunch of SPINELESS panzies.

I would love to tie this team up to a tree get on a BMX bike a spit mud in their faces!!!. I can't stand these Itanianos

[Harrier Jet]

This is a sham game now.

I am thinking a penalty will come soon. From a dive of course.

[S-Dubb]

These guys wouldn't be able to play a full contact sport. They it would be like Man VS Toddlers.

[Harrier Jet]

That's well done to the USA.

They need to beat Ghana convincingly and have Italy beat the Czech's now to qualify.

USA just need to win and hope Italy beat the Czechs. I thought the US were brilliant tonight. It was a shame Pope got sent off, I didn't think he should have gone but I agree with the Mastroeni dismissal as he went in studs up and late although I felt it was a tiny bit harsh.
Kasey Keller was awesome and Landon Donovan looked threatening - completely different from the first game. When Italy scored though, I thought if there was another man in the US wall to block the free kick then Gilardino wouldn't have scored.

[penningtonpays]

ghana is gunna be tough they beat the czechs 2-0 who the US lost 3-0 to. not to mention they played italy pretty tough even though they lost.

[reg83ny]

Go Ghana. But my Trinis have a tough task in the world cup.

[S-Dubb]

In my eyes, it should have been won by Italy, even though it seemed that USA was dominating the whole game. Italy got the first goal quick, and a couple of minutes later, the Italy player put it in the USA net, so without that play happening Italy would have won 1-0.

I honestly do not see why you people are having so much of a grudge against Italy. You guys think they cheat, but they don't. With all the fouls that USA was doing I actually thought it was USA that was being cheap at this game.

But, there is one thing we can agree on, these refs fucked this game up.

Cry it up!! . Italy plays the game disrespectful in my opinion. They totally disrespect the game of soccer. They dive, they whine , they bitch and although they are good athletes they just make themselves look like panzies by playing the game like that.

I think it's the ultimate disgrace to use loop holes to find ways to win against your opponent and the same reason why I lost repect of the NBA. They are constently whining and carring on like girls after everytime someone drives to the basket I can't stand it.

I know everyone takes dives but this team does it more frequent then any other team IMO. They hold and grapple and play the game very dirty and to me they are spineless punks and if I were Italian I'd be embarassed.

Thank good for football!!!

Ive noticed that players go down easily in all matches so far. The slightest knock they get and they go down like a car has just struck them and it really annoys me. Soccer is supposed to be a contact sport played by athletes not by a bunch of wimpy actors. You are meant to take the hit just like in football and get up. In football it usually takes a good hit to get the player down, in soccer the feintest of touches and the player hits the deck.
When I watch soccer I love to see crunching, fair, sliding tackles where it hurts but you play the ball. So far in this World Cup the referees haven't allowed this to happen.
Its like Harrier Jet said, FIFA is scared about a backlash from club sides if players get injured. Right now a Belgian club is suing FIFA because one of their players got injured on international duty and the Belgian club say the injury cost them their league title. Major world clubs like Man Utd, Real Madrid and Barcelona are on the side of the Belgian club in this case and so FIFA is trying to keep these teams sweet so FIFA aren't sued again. The case of the injured Belgian club's player is currently being heard in the highest European court I think. I sure hope the Belgian club lose the case.
